Help sexing Easter Egger chicks?

Took some recent photos today....was hoping for more opinions on sex for these four now that they are older.

Bought as chicks seven weeks ago but they had already been at the feed store for sale for a few days so I'm thinking they are really darn close to eight weeks old now.

They are numbered the same way as they have been throughout this post.... I'm worried about #1 being a roo as it has the splotchy red a little bit like I've read about in other sexing posts.

#1


#2


#3


#4
 
I see what you mean on #1 but the patterning continues through the slightly darker feathers and they aren't that dark. Males get dark red feathers that lack patterning. I still think all pullets.
 
You guys ROCK!

Thanks everyone for replying and taking the time to look. It just boggles my mind how much the EE's change as they grow. Can't wait till everyone is full grown.
I'm so glad that #1 is a girl because I am LOVING that beard she's got going on, and the fact that I can name all four of them after the Golden Girls...Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia

Hi everyone brand new to this site..I'm proud mummy of 13uplets as I call them they were a mix of eggs at a school and ive had them since 2 days old they are all my babies but im stuck at sexing them. .They are 4 weeks old nearly and it's upsetting thinking I have too many roos they are hybrid birds but mixed so even unsure what I have yet I've kept chickens before but brought battery hens which were at point of lay not brand new babies (which I'm loving watching them grow) and so are the children I keep reading about the combs I already have a few with red larger combs so does this mean they are roos??..il try and add some pics if I can thanks all
